Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I like classics such as The Prestige, Pulp Fiction, Leon The Professional, and Good Will Hunting; I'm also a huge fan of Paul Rudd's comedy movies.

Shows: Game of Thrones (can't wait for the new TV season and the new book), Friends (never get tired of this), SNL (Bill Hader's Stefon is hilarious), The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon (This guy is so funny and talented)

Music: I love all kinds of music - The Beatles, Foreigner, Journey, Blue Oyster Cult, Kanye West, Mozart, Bach, to name a few

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I walked 155km in five days as part of the Way of St. James pilgrimage (el Camino de Santiago) in Spain.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm the kind of guy who loves to go out and do cool things; outside of work I enjoy dining out, going to concerts (most recently saw Arcade Fire and Placebo), and traveling. I'm a really lucky guy so I love to spend some of my time volunteering and sharing with others.
